Messaging & Notifications Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently asked questions about Quilia messaging, push notifications, case updates, and client communication features for law firms.

13 questions

Can I send messages to all my clients at once?

Yes. Mass Messaging lets you pick recipients with filters or by hand, write one message, and send it by in-app notification, push, or SMS, now or on a schedule. See /how-it-works/mass-messaging/

Do clients get both text and email invites?

Nope, just a text message with a magic link. That's all they need to get started.

How does Quilia communicate with clients?

Quilia primarily uses push notifications through the mobile app to communicate with clients. We also send text messages as a fallback for clients who don't have the app installed or have notifications disabled. This ensures clients always receive important updates about their case.

Can Quilia send automatic reminders to clients?

Yes. We send strategic reminders for things like medical appointments and even confirm if they went, so your staff doesn't have to chase them down.

Can I assign tasks or requests to clients?

Yes. We call them "requests." You can ask for documents, info, or anything else, and they'll see it as a to-do in the app.

How do I know when a client responds?

You'll get a notification in our Chrome extension or an email. Some CMS setups can also assign it directly to your team.

Can I delete a message after sending it?

Yes. You can delete it from the dashboard and the client won't be able to see it anymore.

Can I delay notifications after a phase change?

Yes. Phase messages are queued to send the following morning. That gives you time to make edits or changes without sending multiple alerts.

Can client messages be routed to specific team members?

Yes. You can set up routing so responses go to the right person based on team roles in your CMS or dashboard.

Can I see if a message hasn't been read yet?

Yes. Unread phase messages are clearly visible in your dashboard reporting.

How are case updates sent to clients?

Whenever a case phase changes in your CMS, Quilia automatically sends a prewritten message to the client. No extra typing, no manual push required.

Do clients get real-time notifications?

Yes. Updates are delivered instantly, so clients always know where their case stands without having to call your office.

How is Quilia’s messaging different from Hona or Case Status?

Hona and Case Status lean heavily on phase-change notifications. Quilia includes those too, but we treat them as just one piece of the puzzle. Our messaging is tied into client data collection and case progress, so attorneys get updates that actually move the case forward—not just alerts for the sake of alerts.
